Anyone having an issue getting into the game? I was playing and all of a sudden it said I needed an update to continue playing. So I clicked update, but there is no update in the app store. Every time I restart the app it shows the update message again and forces me to the app store. I tried restarting my phone, etc. but it still does it.

I was having this issue, even deleted and reinstalled. Prompted by someone on the ea answers forum, I just tried again, and now it’s downloading the updates. It appears it was a temporary glitch, relieved noises all round? 😉 definitely worth trying again, anyway!

I’m pretty sure the ‘nuclear’ shade of green is a reference to a Simpsons st Patrick’s day episode. I think Lisa says “oh look they even turned the river green!” And mr burns wanders over stating “no my nuclear plant did that”. Pretty sure that’s not an exact quote lol

That makes sense – I did think the green was more nuclear waste green than St Paddy’s day green… It’s a bit vile. I have the brightness turned down as far as it’ll go on my iPad as I hate super bright screens, and it’s still headache inducing. Can’t imagine what it’d look like otherwise 😮

Anyone else having an issue where it wants to update but there’s no update available? Says I can’t keep playing unless I update 😦

I got the same update issue when I was visiting friends. I usually never have issues with my game,this is upsetting,at first I put the volume up to see if it was playing harps lol! Because I’ve heard the stories and didn’t want that.
I hope it gets fixed soon

I just had a rummage around on Google – seems I’m not the only one. Which is a bummer as they’re not exactly exemplary fixing these thigs, but at least I know it’s not something I did wrong. (Paranoid, moi?)

It’s very peculiar. Logging in to the game, you get “update needed, want want want” with a note saying the update is required to continue playing – that takes you to the browser which opens the game link in the App Store, but there it shows no update. I tried deleting and reinstalling as that sometimes seems to make a difference, but no joy.

It’s almost as if they’ve notified the game servers to require an update, but the update hasn’t yet made it to the App Store. I’m not techy enough to know if that’s possible, but that’s what it seems like. Before now, updates have always either installed automagically when I opened the game, or shown up in the App Store.

Judging by my pootle around Google and the EA answers site (misnamed, much? ;-)) I’m afraid you may be getting more questions on this unless EA fix it in the next few hours.

Someone on the ea answers board said that they can now get in, so we can hope it was a temporary glitch… Hope so, as I was busy remodelling Mr Burns’ grounds and they were looking quite good if I say so myself 😉 *must get a life*

I think we were all hoping that Rachel. But the game seems to be remaining true to it’s pattern of a big event one month followed by something smaller the next. I’m still holding out for Whacking Day! 🙂

I’m glad you wrote a post about this because I wanted to comment that the green in river looks too much like nuclear waste than a shamrock. 😉 it’s really bright especially when playing in the dark…! I wonder why the game developers went with that green as opposed to a different kind of green.
